I have 4 years experience with electric rcs but am a gearhead and love real engines. I am looking into my first engine powered rc. I have looked at the Baja 5b rovan and found it would be too big and impractical for my area. I know the nitro rcs are harder to tune and can be more finiky, but they are more practical in smaller areas. I want to keep my budget under 350 as I know fuel and other accessories needed to run nitro add to the cost. I have found many decent looking options and have listed them below.
-HPI Bullet st/mt $310-350
-Traxxas nitro rustler $335
-Traxxas nitro slash $350
- kyosho inferno neo 3.0 $350
- exceed Forza .18 2 speed $250
Out of these, which is the best or tell me if there are any other good budget nitro rcs. I would maybe consider a vintage or used one if it has good parts support. I would appreciate the input.
